Pie Chart Error?

RickThomas — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 13:02:11 GMT

There seems to be an error in the Configure Pop-up > Pie Chart option. I am trying to show population by race normalized by the total population so that percentages are given when a user rolls over a section of the chart. I only get the raw population data to show. If I use a column chart the process works - not the most appropriate choice of graphs, though. Is it me or is there a problem?

This is a bug. So, when you hover over a pie slice in the popup, you'll see the raw data value, not the normalized value. However, the pie itself should look correct. Normalizing the data does impact the actual numeric value being charted, but the ratios shown by the pie slices don't change, because they are a percentage of the whole.

As a workaround, you could add a field that represents the normalized value.

Thanks,

Mike
